'You've got 7 days, Seinfeld. That is one week'

Yup, seven days (one week) until pitchers and catchers report.

I could have used a picture of Mickey Mantle to celebrate this occasion, but I figured this rather obscure "Seinfeld" reference would be better.

No Yankee is ever comin' to Houston!

Tyler Kepner reminded me of George Costanza's hilarious interaction with Houston Astros' "executives" on Seinfeld.*

Clayton: Hey, Zeke wants to know when you Yankee bastards are comin' to Houston!

George: You tell that son of a bitch no Yankee is ever comin' to Houston. Not as long as you bastards are running things.

I don't know how I forgot about that when I realized the Yankees would be playing in Houston this season!

*If it's clean enough to air on NBC and in syndication without editing, it's clean enough to be posted here.

Ken Phelps! Ken Phelps!

Jim Baumbach of Newsday spoke with Ken Phelps about his name being mentioned in Seinfeld.

This was definitely one of the funnier Seinfeld moments and it's pretty interesting to see Phelps respond to it.
